Michael Bader, D.M.H. sez: ...this hodgepodge of people and groups spout frankly paranoid beliefs... Self-defense and armed resistance are frequently called for. Racist stereotypes, innuendo, and hostility run rampant. The Constitution is its sacred text and Glenn Beck its most beloved prophet. They don't usually wear aluminum hats but perhaps they should. I hate these folks but I also understand them. And, well, uh, I also empathize with them. They share the same psychology as the paranoid patients I treat every day. The only difference is that the paranoid beliefs of the tea-party movement are political while those in my consulting room are of a more personal nature.
Anyone care to compile a list of entities which advertise in "Psychology Today"? Thanks Maelstorm.

He’s a projecting self-loather. I suspect his “wife” has a mustache.
